Football teams and leagues have also been paying their respects. This photo is of Greek side Olympiakos and Belgian side Anderlecht ahead of their recent Uefa Champions League match.

Ivorian footballers Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue, of Galatasaray, took off their team shirts at the end of a recent match to reveal vests with tribute messages to Mandela. Many other football players have done the same.
